Free download (Windows version) of the popular CppSim software package for fast system simulation based on the C language. Site also include numerous tutorials, publications, and lectures as supporting material. XQuartz is a very handy open-source tool that allows macOS users to run applications that are not specifically designed for Mac computers. It’s been four years since XQuartz received an update and many Mac users are wondering if the tool is compatible with the latest M1 Mac models. XQuartz is the Mac software package to display X11 graphical applications from remote servers, primarily Unix/Linux. Many graphical applications use a display library called OpenGL, which is supported by XQuartz but not enabled by default. It is not exposed to the preferences menu, and must be enabled by the defaults tool. Installing XQuartz on Apple Mac. This tutorial explains how to install XQuartz application on Apple Mac. This application is required by Wine application which allows to run Embird (native Windows application) on Apple Mac computer. Note: Please note, that applications XQuartz and Wine for Apple Mac are not developed nor supported by Embird team.Also, because Embird is natively Windows. For macOS, download and install XQuartz. For X forwarding to work, you'll need to start XQuartz before making an SSH connection to the remote system. Once XQuartz launches, you can use X forwarding with SSH from the Terminal or from the xterm application in XQuartz.

If you are a Node.js developer, installing Cypress as a dev dependency in your package.json file or even via direct download seems simple enough. Yet for developers working in other languages like Python or Go, using npm can be an obstacle. We often hear this question from developers:

Why don’t you have a Docker image with Cypress pre-installed?

Having an image with both OS dependencies and the Cypress test runner ready to go seems to be very convenient, which is well described in this blog post “End-to-End Testing Web Apps: The Painless Way” by Michael Lynch.

We have listened and created a Docker image with Cypress installed. It is called cypress/included and is tagged with the version of Cypress installed in the image. For now, we'll use the image for the current Cypress version as of this writing - the cypress/included:3.2.0 image. We create new images for every Cypress version released. The image is built on top of the cypress/base:12.1.0 image with Node 12.1.0 included. You can find our official Docker images in the cypress-docker-images repository and on Docker hub.

You can find the examples below in the repo demo-docker-cypress-included.

Running headless tests

If you have Cypress end-to-end tests, you can run them using the complete image. For example, if your project structure looks like this:

Then you can execute your Cypress tests using the following shell command:

Nothing to install, just write your spec files using your favorite editor and run them.

Commands and options

The image cypress/included:3.2.0 has the entrypoint set to cypress run, so you don’t need to type it when running our Docker image. If you want a different command, you can change the entrypoint and then pass any additional arguments after the image name.

You can also pass environment variables into the container to control Cypress behavior. For example, the boolean config option video controls if the video of the run is recorded. It is true by default, but you can disable it via an environment variable.

If you want to record the test run on the Cypress Dashboard to review later, you need to pass the record key and the --record CLI flag.

Container info

To show the information about the operating system and pre-installed browsers, you can execute cypress info command:

We can see both Chrome and Firefox browsers pre-installed in the cypress/included:6.2.1 image. Let's run our tests using Firefox browser for example:

Interactive mode

Running the tests inside a Docker container is nice, but it is missing my favorite Cypress feature: its interactive Test Runner with the Command Log, time-traveling debugger and live view of what is going on during the test! Typically, you would execute cypress open to open the Test Runner in interactive mode, but how do we see it if Cypress opens inside a Docker container?

If you want to see Cypress in interactive mode, you need to forward the XVFB messages from Cypress out of the Docker container into an X11 server running on the host machine. I have done this on my Mac; other operating systems might require different commands.

I have installed an XQuartz X11 server following the instructions at Running GUI applications using Docker for Mac.

Then I grabbed the IP of the host machine and added it to the allowed X11 hosts.

Green screen ideas & strategies. Now you can execute a cypress open command passing DISPLAY and the X11 socket file to the container:

The Docker container starts and you can see the full interactive Cypress Test Runner open. You can watch the test run, interact with the Command Log, open DevTools, etc. Even spec file watching is working - if you edit and save the cypress/integration/spec.js file, the Test Runner picks up the change and reruns the tests.

Debugging tip: if Cypress shows an error Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:.. make sure X11 server allows connections over the network from the Docker container. Run xhost command in the terminal to see if it has the IP address you have added previous with xhost + $IP.

Docker compose

Using docker-compose to spawn services and run end-to-end tests is very convenient. We have coded several examples that show how to run a web application and Cypress tests in two Docker containers:

• cypress-open-from-docker-compose which is a fork of mtlynch/hello-world-cypress

To support both cypress run and cypress open settings we recommend:

• placing the default settings for cypress run into docker-compose.yml file, for example, like this

You can start the application, run the headless tests and close the services with command:

• place the X11 configuration that enables cypress open Test Runner to show on the host machine in a separate YAML file that extends the above file. The second file only has additional environment variables and volumes

To start in the interactive mode we need to pass both filenames to the docker

You should see the Test Runner and be able to run tests

Testing site on host

Let's consider another common situation: running the Test Runner inside a Docker container, while running the website on the host outside the container. First, start the website on the host machine

Now start the Test Runner but instead of localhost use a special Docker domain that points back at the host machine:

Running the Test Runner in a Docker container allows us to debug font and encoding issues. For example the problem of missing Chinese characters in the cypress-documentation translation is only visible on CI or inside a Docker container.

XQuartz is an open-source version of the X.Org X server, a component of the X Window System (X11, or shortened to simply X, and sometimes informally X-Windows) that runs on macOS.^[1] It formally replaced Apple's internal X11 app. The name 'XQuartz' derives from Quartz, part of the macOS Core Graphics framework, to which XQuartz connects these applications. XQuartz allows cross-platform applications using X11 for the GUI to run on macOS, many of which are not specifically designed for macOS. This includes numerous scientific and academic software projects.^[2]

History[edit]

X11.app was initially available as a downloadable public beta for Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar and later included as a standard package for Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger X11.app was an optional install included on the install DVD. Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and Mac OS X 10.7 Lion installed X11.app by default, but from OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion on Apple dropped dedicated support for X11.app, with users being directed to the open source XQuartz project (to which Apple contributes) instead.^[2]

In Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, Apple's X11 implemented X11 protocol release 6.6 (X11R6.6). This implementation includes an XFree86 4.4 based X11 window server, Quartz rootless window manager, libraries, and basic utilities such as xterm.^[3] 'Rootless' means that X window applications show up on the Quartz desktop, appearing like any other windowed Quartz application (that is, not in a virtual desktop contained within another window). In Mac OS X Leopard, X11 was updated to use X.Org Server (X11R7.2) rather than XFree86.^[4] The source code for X11 is available from Apple. Some source code is available under the Apple Public Source License while the bulk is licensed under the MIT License.

Current version[edit]

The current version of XQuartz is a DDX (Device Dependent X^[5]) included in the X.Org Server and implements support for hardware-accelerated 2D graphics (in versions prior to 2.1), hardware OpenGL acceleration and integration with Aqua, the macOS graphical user interface (GUI). As of version 2.8.0, XQuartz does not provide support for high-resolution Retina displays to X11 apps, which run in pixel-doubled mode on high-resolution displays.

List of versions (since 2010)[edit]

See also[edit]

• MacX, X11 support on Classic Mac OS
• XWayland, to support X application under Wayland
• XDarwin, an implementation of X for macOS that preceded XQuartz, and supports versions of macOS before 10.3 unlike XQuartz
